Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Team India's cricketing prodigy, continues to make waves while being a part of the U19 team currently touring England. The sensational cricketer from Bihar smashed a blazing century, lighting up Worcester with his exceptional performance against England U19 in the 4th Youth ODI. The young cricketer has reached incredible heights with his performance recently. Vaibhav, the 14-year-old, has had an exceptional tour so far, and he continues to emerge as a phenomenon for India in under-19 cricket.
As a teen phenomenon, Vaibhav Suryavanshi broke into the scene with his performance against India U19 Youth Test against Australia in Chennai. He went on to announce himself to the world after being selected by the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, featuring as Sanju Samson's replacement when he was injured. RR had a dismal campaign, but Vaibhav delivered a record-setting campaign in IPL 2025, which helped him earn a spot in the India U19 squad for the England tour.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi put up a phenomenal effort against England U19 in the fourth Youth ODI at Worcester with a 52-ball century. With seven sixes and ten boundaries, the 14-year-old displayed raw power and authority with the bat to help put his side in a favourable position.
14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi played anchor for Team India U19 but was eventually dismissed at 143 runs, which he scored off 78 balls.
While Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to make fans go wild, Ayush Mhatre is yet to have that kind of fate. The India U19 hasn't been at his best with the bat. In the 4th Youth ODI, Mhatre lost his wicket rather cheaply, scoring just five runs off the 14 deliveries he faced. The young cricketer did not look fluent as he had lost his wickets early in the past matches of the tour.
Ayush Mhatre had done really well while representing the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 season. The young star from Mumbai emerged as a standout after putting up solid knocks while being under pressure.
India U19 would have the fifth and final Youth ODI match against England, and Ayush Mhatre would have one last chance to showcase himself as a leader.
